At the time we were living in the Philippines where animal welfare is sadly not in a very good state. My husband was out jogging and heard cries coming from a storm drain, he reached down and fished out a knotted carrier bag containing newly born kittens - literally eyes shut only a few days old. They were soaking wet and freezing cold, I really didn't think they would make it. They proved me wrong though, they were real fighters, it meant bottle feeding every few hours but they got stronger and stronger.
They went on to travel round the world with us as we moved jobs, they have very full passports! They are now 14 years old and have just flown back with us to the UK for their official retirement. They aren't too impressed by the cold but am sure they will get used to it, summer is on its way.
